لعبة distillation board game

The worker placement and recipe cards mesh so well together that every turn feels like I'm actually running my own distillery. I've played three games solo and with four players, and the theme stays strong without slowing down the pace.

Setup took a bit, but once I got going, the way the ingredient cards mirror real distilling steps really pulled me into the theme. My group of four was fully engaged from start to finish.

Played this with three friends who usually groan at euro games, and even they got hooked by the barrel-aging decisions. The theme actually carries the mechanics instead of just sitting on top, which is rare. Solo mode holds up too, though it's clearly better with a full table.
